An abandoned bike trailer in the parking lot of a North Platte bank caused quite a stir in North Platte on Thursday evening.
Just before 6:00 pm, North Platte Police received a call from a Nebraskaland National Bank employee, who reported that a bike trailer had been abandoned in their parking lot.
Police arrived, and after observing wires protruding from the trailer, took full precautions, diverting traffic and calling in the State Patrol bomb squad.
After further investigation, it was determined that the trailer contained numerous items, including electronics, but nothing dangerous was found.
The scene was cleared at around 9:00 pm.
Police say Surveillance footage was viewed and an unidentified individual is seen riding a bike with the trailer attached.
It appears the individual was having mechanical problems with the trailer.
The individual in the video stops and rummages around in the trailer, then abandons it and leaves the area on the bicycle.
Officers say it appears that the person is a junk collector and had mechanical issues with the trailer and just abandoned it.
